Risen 2: Dark Waters Announced by Deep Silver

Sea monsters are coming up from the depths!

Deep Silver obviously doesn’t know what a holiday is, taking the opportunity today to announce Risen 2: Dark Waters for PC, Xbox 360 and, for the first time, PS3. This is the second game in a week’s time that Deep Silver has announced they are publishing, the first being Dead Island.

Risen 2 takes place several years after the end of the original game, where “raging titans have devastated the world and pushed humanity to the brink of existence. Subsequently, monstrous creatures have risen from the watery depths of the sea and their attacks have brought all seafaring to a grinding halt.”

Bam! More tropical birds on the way!

The original game’s protagonist returns as part of the “Inquisition,” and is sent to stop these monstrous sea creatures in Risen 2.

Risen 2 is a Piranha Bytes-developed sequel to the 2007 third-person RPG game that will feature a “fresh theme and setting on a huge variety of themed island locales.”

No other details are known right now, but when more information becomes available we’ll let you know.
